THE GARDEN
“They are often the most beautiful, the most lush, the most seductive.”
Thorns, leaves, berries and flowering forms fill the frame, drawing the viewer close. Elmarie van Straten’s interest in toxic and invasive plants lies in their contradiction: that what appears most beautiful or abundant can also carry harm.
Nothing here announces itself as dangerous. That is precisely where the tension sits.
From Night Shade, a solo presentation by Elmarie van Straten.
